Justice has been meted out in this case. It is to be hoped the punishment will act as a deterrent from such crimes in the future. The trial was conducted in a most fair and impartial man- ner.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment ot Agriculture.) For 180 cows that average | 5,000 pounds of milk annu part of the milk check that represent- ed profit and reimbursement for the owner's managerial ability was 23 per cent. For 2 cows averaging more than 6,000 pounds. annually, the pel cent remaining for profit and the own- er's skill was 41 per cent. For the Inst five vision, United States Department of Agriculture, has been making studies .which bear on this problein in many dairy’ sections of the country; and two-year Investigations on the re- quirements for producing milk have now been completed on groups of dalry farms in six of these commupi- ties. One of the Intest of the: tud- ies, earried on In Vermont, Is the one Lon which the above figures are based. What it has disclosed in regard to economy of production and the re- quirements for producing milk, may be of value to the dairyman who is inter- ested in finding out where milk re- turns are going. These figures, which were obtained from a study of the production rec- ords of 587 cows which remained in the herds a full ¥ show that the average annual production of the 180 lower-producing cows was 4,146 pounds; also hat the average produc- 'tion of 257 higher producers was 7,144 pounds a year. After subtracting from 4,146 pounds the amounts of milk What Part of Your Milk Check Rep- ' resents Profit? required to pay production costs (feed, 1,810 pounds of 1wilk; laber, 806 pounds of milk; and other costs 570 pounds of milk) only 960 pounds of jmilk remained for the profit and skill ‘of the owner.

A cow will drink 150 pounds of water a day at a temperature of 60 degrees, but if the water is ice cold she will not drink all she needs. She will, however, be ctilled through and will eat more to get warm. She ought to have in summer time at least 150 pounds of water a day and in winter time about 100 pounds. Money Needs Fresh Air.

Every German views with alarm the French move for partition of the fatherland, and, in the case of iUpper Silesia, giving a rich province to Poland, a country of low cultural development. By a provision of the Versailles treaty, Germany i§ permit- ted to assist former Upper Silesian: now living in Germany, back to their native land for the forthcoming elec. tion.

They sce in such a move an impoverishment of Germany that will absolutely forbid payment of idemnity. Further they see a dangerous continuation of the present collapse of Europe. _“Europe,” the liberals declare, “is like an egg; it cannot be partly good \and partly rotten.” .Today the. indus- |trial collapse of Europe has reacted | disadvantageously on England, being ilnrgely the cause of 1,500,000 un- employed. in the British Isles and one of the worst trade depressions in all history. . “The world can recover only as a unit.
